What is Java Typecasting

Typecasting in Java refers to converting a variable from one data type to another. This is often necessary when you’re working with different data types together in a single expression or when you need to conform to a specific method signature. There are two main types of typecasting in Java:

1. Widening (Automatic) Typecasting
2. Narrowing (Explicit) Typecasting

1. Widening (Automatic) Typecasting

Widening typecasting, also known as implicit typecasting, occurs automatically when you convert a smaller data type to a larger one. This type of conversion is safe because there is no risk of data loss.

Example of Widening Typecasting:
